ClariNet Terms for Readers and Users
Clarinet Communications Corp offers an electronic publishing service.
The site which subscribes to ClariNet has agreed to certain terms and
conditions. As a user at such a site, you are bound by some of these
terms, and may be subject to site discipline (as well as other remedies)
should you violate the terms. These terms are a subset of the full terms
for site admins which are in the main "terms" file.
In short
It's all copyrighted and you must respect the copyright
No archiving of AP & Reuters
No interfering with the ClariNet network
No use whatsoever by media (newspapers, tv, radio, etc.)
It's all as-is, with no warranties implied, our liability
is very limited, blah, blah, etc., lawyerese, blah.
Read the long version for the real terms and explanations.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
o) All information ClariNet publishes is copyrighted, and you
must respect that copyright, and not copy or transmit
ClariNet articles to others without permission. You
may not resell this information in any way whatsoever.
Notes: If your location has a site-wide licence, you may
forward articles to people at your site, or even develop
internal mailing lists as you wish. You can make printed
copies of some material for your personal use, but making
multiple copies or distributing them is not allowed.
You can't repost ClariNet articles to USENET or mailing
lists without permission, but if you ask ClariNet by mailing
to permission@clarinet.com, then from time to time we will
allow it for promotional reasons if you follow some rules.
(Requests are limited to a few a year per person, and no
more than 1/day for the whole net.) You can also contact
the original sources in some cases.
o) You can keep your own "clippings" of favourite articles, but
building a personal archive of the full service is not
allowed for AP & Reuters.
o) You can't interfere with the ClariNet network. No posting
of unauthorized "control" messages involving Clari groups
or messages, no forging messages from ClariNet or posting
articles to moderated ClariNet newsgroups.
Note: Please also keep material in clari.net.talk on-topic.
o) Your ClariNet subscription info may be measured in aggregate
form to help audit readership, though your individual data
will not be compromised.
o) ClariNet articles may not be used for any reporting or editorial
purpose by the media (newspapers, radio, tv, wire services,
periodicals, etc.) This not only prohibits republication of
the material, but even using ClariNet as a tip service or
a source of material to write in your own words. This includes
school newspapers and radio/tv stations. If you work in an
editorial capacity for any news agency, you should either not
read ClariNet, or send us a written note promising you will
make only personal, and no editorial use of the material.
(Mail that to support@clarinet.com)
Notes: That means if you work at a radio station and agree to
read ClariNet only for personal use, if you read a hot story
from ClariNet, you can't run down to the newsroom and tell
them to start digging on it until you've heard it from another
source. Why? Selling to media is the wireservices' bread and
butter. They won't tolerate any encroachment into this.
Electronic newspapers are unlike newspapers, in that they are
as fast as radio, but unlike radio, in that they give the full
story like a newspaper. Thus you see the danger to the wire.
If you work in journalism and need news hot off the wire in your
job, we'll tell you how to reach the wires.
o) All information from AP, Reuters, Newsbytes, Bay City News and
other organizations is provided on an "as-is" basis, and comes
with the following disclaimer of warranties and liability:
Responsibility for all information transmitted via ClariNet
lies with the poster or information provider. ClariNet
makes no warranties, expressed or implied, concerning the
accuracy or fitness for any purpose of any information
distributed by ClariNet. Such warranties may or may not be
expressed by information providers. AP & Reuters make no
warranties of any kind regarding the fitness of their
product. Opinions expressed by Information Providers are
their own, and are not necessarily the opinions of Clarinet
Communications Corp. ClariNet makes no warranties regarding
the reliability of network feed points that are not owned
and controlled by ClariNet.
In any event, ClariNet's liability to any given customer for
any and all causes, whether for negligence, network failure,
breach of contract or otherwise shall be limited to the
subscription fees prepaid by the customer for the defined
period of troubles. ClariNet shall at no time be liable for
consequential damages or lost business or profits on the
part of a customer or related party.
